<i>The Epic of Gilgamesh of ancient Sumeria includes a mention of zombies. Ishtar, in the fury of vengeance says:
Father give me the Bull of Heaven,
So he can kill Gilgamesh in his dwelling.
If you do not give me the Bull of Heaven,
I will knock down the Gates of the Netherworld,
I will smash the doorposts, and leave the doors flat down,
and will let the dead go up to eat the living!
And the dead will outnumber the living! </i>

Originally "The Altdorf All-Stars" a team made of great players from around the world, the team's glittering career was cut tragically short by a terrible "accident".

The teams bodies were recovered by an enterprising Necromancer and reborn as the Ex-stars, who now continue to play Bloodbowl and recruit promising new players from opposing teams into their ranks.
Regardless of whether they want to or not.
